EDITORIAL ANNOUNCEMENT. 



The present issue closes the seventh volume of the Jour- 

 nal OF Comparative Neurology. Seven years ago the first 

 number appeared with neither financial support nor influential 

 collaboration and, notwithstanding manifest imperfections and 

 limitations, it has steadily kept in view its initial purpose to 

 promote the investigation of the nervous system by the broad- 

 est possible application of the comparative method. We take 

 this opportunity to thank those who from the start have offered 

 encouragement and practical aid. The Journal has never been 

 the organ of a party or institution or a special pleader or pro- 

 pagandist and will continue to maintain an unprejudiced attitude 

 toward all worthy efforts, particularly welcoming the results of 

 independent research. 



The editors have pleasure in announcing that, beginning 

 with the first number of volume eight, greatly enlarged facilities 

 will be afforded by the addition of a number of collaborators, 

 each of whom has attained a position of eminence as an investi- 

 gator in the department which he represents. It is not as yet 

 possible to announce the names of all the collaborators, but the 

 following may be mentioned at this time : 



Professor Ludwig Edinger, Frankfurt, a-M., Collaborator 

 for Germany. 



G. Carl Huber, M.D., Assistant Professor of Histology and 

 Embryology in the University of Michigan ; The sympathetic sys- 

 tem and the peripheral nervous system.

 logy and Embryology, Cornell University and The New York State
